Ugh. You're fucking kidding. hmy: Someone - several someones - should hang. ETA: No. You're not kidding. This was just evil.
That is also expressly Verboten. If those 'guilt ridden' workers will testify they Supervisors should be charged with the applicable crime, as well as manslaughter in the infant death case. Who cares if the State can win. make these assholes go to trial and ruin their lives.
Yeah, cause like the NY Post is always such an accurate barometer on what actually happened. Get used to some harsh realities, kiddies. We've been moving towards a (largely manufactured) state of austerity in government for about 30 years now. Sooner or later the bill comes due and you aren't maybe going to like the way it gets paid. What absolutely kills me here in northern New England is the obscene gobs of federal highway matching funds available to install brick sidewalks and faux gas lamps and homeland security funds for the East Pawnstable fire department, but the municipal coffers are always dreadfully barren when the first big snow storm hits.
It's awful, no question, but the end of the article makes a little more sense: "According to an FDNY source, a 911 call was made at 8:30 a.m. with the caller saying the birth wasn't imminent. The call received a low priority, and dispatchers unsuccessfully tried twice to contact the calling party over the next few hours. A second call, more urgent, was received at 4:30 p.m. reporting the woman was bleeding and birth was imminent. The call was then upgraded. One hour later, the NYPD contacted the FDNY/EMS reporting that the baby had been delivered but was unconscious. Police officers cut the umbilical cord and tried to resuscitate the baby. This upgraded the call was then upgraded to the highest priority, and sources reported that an FDNY EMS crew arrived within 12 minutes, at 6:00 p.m."
I have zero problem with a new age of austerity. Especially if that also means a new age of self-reliance. Where the weak and faggoty learn to stop looking for someone blameworthy. But we're not there. And so, we can all properly be outraged when services that were contracted and paid for were withheld. Or, if that story is a stretch, then some OTHER public employee needs to explain a nine hour emergency call. I didn't invent this social contract. But it was broken, and someone's responsible.
Yeah, I read that part, and it does make it sound a little less horrible, but this is still just unacceptable.
This is where guns are critical to an orderly society. This woman could have pulled out a shiny firearm, waved it in the air, maybe even pointed it at a few people, and progress would have been made. Everyone thinks of the dangerous side of guns. No one considers how guns can save the life of a young child.
Yup. Two shells into the wall and a hostage, SWAT would have had a tank in front of that bldg ASAMFP.
I don't understand how the newborn died. Women have children at home without medical care all the time. Still sad though.
Yeah....Odd isn't it odd. A Conservative embraces the social contract, and then....crickets chirp when you ask why it's not being kept. You mean...there was no one person that could... A: Get the emergency INFO. B: Get a hold of the DoS to get a plow in front of the ambulance all the way to the hospital. Odd...and our government seeks more license?
As far as I know, the power/heat/water to the building were fine. Food was available in the form of mothers milk. Unless there was something gravely wrong with the newborn's health, the baby could have survived. Again, very sad but there has to be more to the story. My friend's father delivered him and his 1 sisters in the mountains of Northern Cali days away from treatment fine and he was a logger, not a doctor.
